Insignificant

I had the same thing happen after a badly converted Honda Civic to LPG, someone forgot to stop the petrol coming out of an unconnected pipe.

Nothing to do with excessive speed and stupidity?

Not sure how long you have lived here to not know that Thai people are never wrong.

We are going to the bank tomorrow, the worse that can happen is they say no. But it does no harm to try.

We will be keeping the first house.

I need some advice on buying a house in Thailand. I have been married to my Thai wife for eight years now. I am fully supporting my wife and our five year old daughter. We built a house in the village five years ago but feel the need to move back to Chiang Mai. My wife has not had a job now for many years now, but we need to know if it is possible to buy a house in my wife's name without her having a work record. I know the place to ask is at my bank but I would just like to know if there is a way around the work record problem and if anybody has obtained a mortgage without a work record. I have a good deposit to buy a house and also I have good pensions. Thanks in advance for any good information.

Probably very low or no qualifications and the loss if face it it goes wrong, best not to take that risk.

Very fair sentence, just keep locking up the mushroom poachers and the overstayers.

I have a cunning plan. Install hundreds of wind turbines in the channel to blow all the dinghies back to France. This could of course increase the numbers if the wind is blowing the wrong way. So I am working on that problem.

If you ban people in the back of pickups you have to ban many other types transportation. Like the flimsy motorcycle side cars, no more than two on a motorcycle etc, no more travelling on top of trucks, no more school children hanging off the back of songthews, the list goes on and on and nothing is going to change and the carnage will continue until the people in charge of transporting people start treating people as humans and not animals. I have a video somewhere of a pickup converted into a double decker to enable it to carry about 20 workers. Many times workers travelling in the back of pickups is done to save money and greatly increase profits.

Thailand 100% safe.

You can turn off the indicator lights on some units.

He gave his life, nobody took it.

No Thai is ever to blame.

No Thai is ever to blame.

Not allowed to give negative hotel reviews or you end up with a fine or jail time. So I guess the hotel in question had a well deserved 100% rating.

My renewal quote arrived by email and was 2000 baht more than what it cost for me to apply on line again. But the online application would not progress as it told me I was already insured with Roojai. So I will let my present insurance expire then re apply as a new customer.

Not with my knees.

Had the same problem about 3 years ago. Transfers with Wise to Bangkok bank not recognised as International transfers as they have to go through another Thai bank first. So had to open a Kasikorn bank account to transfer money that was then recognised as an international transfer by the Thai immigration. Had no problem since.

Sometimes one minute.

Maybe the powers that be will change their recruiting methods now and do proper checks on applicants to all government positions and not rely on who can pay the most.

If it gets down to 35baht then that will start to make things problematic for me. Probably a lot of UK expats will have similar problems. When I started living here 11 years ago it was 55 baht to the £. How things have changed since then.

So it is OK to refuse a test with no punishment (if you are rich).

Slow at taking off from traffic lights even when it is very clear that there is no traffic. Very slow at coming to a stop at red lights, I have my theories why this is the case.
